We Build for the Builders
It's not just workwear. It's the layer that takes the scrape so your skin doesn't. The pocket that holds your gloves, your phone, your kid's first fishing lure. The thing you reach for before the sun's up and shrug off long after the shift ends.
That's why we make clothing the old way — heavyweight cotton duck, triple-stitched seams, rivets at every stress point. Because the people who keep this country running deserve gear that doesn't quit halfway through the day.
Our Story
Our journey began in 1889 in Detroit, with a simple promise and a modest workshop: two sewing machines, five workers, and one mission — to make honest work clothing for the people who actually use it.
In the early years, we worked shoulder to shoulder with railroad laborers, learning exactly where clothing fails and how to make it hold. Within two decades, that small workshop had grown into a network of factories across eight cities, reaching from Detroit to Canada and beyond. Through depressions and world wars, booms and busts, one thing never changed: the belief that durable, fairly priced workwear is a matter of respect for the worker.
Today, that founding spirit lives on in every jacket, bib, and pair of pants we ship to doorsteps around the world.
What We Stand For
We believe everyone who works hard deserves gear that works just as hard. That conviction shapes everything we do:
- Honest Value: Fair prices for genuinely durable products — no markup for the logo.
- Built to Last: Materials and construction chosen for longevity, not fashion cycles.
- Made Responsibly: Partnerships with WRAP-certified suppliers and support for domestic manufacturing where possible.
- Community First: We stand with the trades, the farms, and the crews who wear our gear day in and day out.
Our Craft & Materials
Every product we make is engineered around real job-site demands:
- 12-Ounce Cotton Duck: Heavyweight, tightly woven canvas that resists snags and abrasion.
- Rugged Flex: Stretch fibers blended into high-movement zones for freedom to bend, crawl, and climb.
- Rain Defender: A durable water-repellent finish that sheds rain while letting fabric breathe.
- Wind Fighter: Wind-resistant linings that trap body heat against biting gusts.
- Triple-Stitched Seams: Three rows of lockstitching at every load-bearing seam.
- Riveted Stress Points: Metal rivets reinforce pockets, corners, and high-tension areas.
- Sherpa & Quilted Lining: Plush or stitched insulation for cold-weather shifts.
- Flame-Resistant (FR): Inherent or treated FR fabrics that meet recognized safety standards.
